Rooms That Suit Wild Blue Yonder

• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.

Building a Palette With Wild Blue Yonder

For a whole-home look, use Wild Blue Yonder as a base to build the rest of the palette on and bring in:

• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.
• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.

A shared accent between two rooms is an easy way to make the whole home feel considered.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Wild Blue Yonder keeps its crisp, cool look in daylight and turns a little softer under warm bulbs.

Best finish: A matt finish looks smooth and modern in living rooms and bedrooms; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Worth Knowing

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
